GranulationGranulation
Any process whereby small particles are gathered into large masses in which the original particles can still be identified. or
Granulation is the process in which primary powder particles are made to adhere to form larger, multiparticle entities called granules.
Pharmaceutical granules ranges between 0.2 and 4.0 mm The granulation by direct size enlargement of primary particles, or size
reduction from dry compacted material.

Why granulation?Why granulation?
For tablets In encapsulation Modified release
dosage form
Done to increase the uniformity of drug distribution in the
product densify the material enhance the flow rates and rate uniformity facilitate metering or volumetric dispensing improve the appearance of the product improve compression properties of the mix prevent segregation of components in powder mix reduce production of toxic dust/ reduce dust reduce possibility of ‘cake’ formation increase convenience of transport

Most Frequently Used Pharmaceutical Most Frequently Used Pharmaceutical Granulation TechniquesGranulation Techniques
Divided into two types: wet methods which utilize a liquid in the process, and dry methods in which no liquid is utilized. Wet granulation technology is the more common

Particle bonding mechanismsParticle bonding mechanisms Adhesion and cohesion forces in immobile liquid films
and b/w individual powder particles
Interfacial forces in mobile liquid films within granules
Solid bridges
Attractive forces between solid particles
Form-Closed Bonds or Interlocking Bonds
CHEE 440 9
Bonding Mechanisms in Wet Bonding Mechanisms in Wet MassingMassing
The mechanisms of bonding in the wet state depend on capillary and interfacial forces between the particles
These four states are termed: pendular, funicular, capillary, and droplet or suspension state
The mechanism of agglomeration can be considered as a gradual change from a triphasic stage (air-liquid-solid) in which most granules are in pendular and funicular states, to a biphasic (liquid-solid) particulate assembly, in which the granules will be in the capillary and droplet states.

You never will be the person you can be if pressure, tension and discipline are taken out of your life.
You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?“
“You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil.
The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.
